Missing in Action: Trump Hides as the Jesus Meme & Iran War Rage On YouTube video by Brian Karem

After blaspheming, Trump disappears for a day:

Because too many Americans refuse to vote Democratic while demanding things that only Democrats want to do.

Senate Republicans again block Democratic effort to end Trump's Iran war The vote shows that Republicans are still standing with Trump to continue the war, even as polls show it is unpopular. But some in the GOP say they may change their mind after 60 days.

NEWS: Senate Republicans again block Democratic effort to end Trump's Iran war

47-52, largely on party lines.

Paul = lone R yes.
Fetterman = lone D no.

Some Republicans say they may flip at 60-day mark.

Democrats say they'll force a vote weekly.

Today I joined Rep. Raskin in introducing a 25th Amendment bill to create a bipartisan commission to determine if the President is fit to serve—due to physical, mental, or other conditions.

It’s time to act. ⬇️

NEW: The Justice Department has moved to erase the seditious conspiracy convictions of the key Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders who played central roles in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol — including Stewart Rhodes, Ethan Nordean, Joe Biggs, etc.

The President wants to illegally take over America’s central bank. YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren

The President wants to illegally take over America’s central bank.

There should be no Senate hearing on his Fed Chair nominee.

Yet another 5-Alarm fire. On 20 January 2029, the Democratic Congress in both the House and the Senate must immediately move to expand the Supreme Court to 13 members.

The ceasefire isn't a ceasefire.

The blockade isn't a blockade.

What he said wasn't a war is actually a war.

This whole situation has to be the most brutally stupid foreign policy blunder America has made in my lifetime.

And it's the sort of thing that should cost everyone involved their jobs.

What Epstein Said About Melania and His 'Lolita Express' The first lady fiercely denied having a relationship with the convicted sex offender on Thursday.

In recordings obtained exclusively by the Daily Beast, convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein bragged about his close friendship with both Donald and Melania Trump.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.

My thoughts on the Swalwell stuff.

Notice how Democrats always hold their own accountable and Republicans just yell fake news, no matter how vile the evidence is?

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

If you’re a sexual abusing politician, today is an excellent day to resign.

I’m talking to you, you loathsome slug, Donald Trump.

The GOP allowed trump’s chaos and destruction. They are just as responsible due to their lack of spines and ethics.

Holy shit, you have to be TRULY EVIL to make Switzerland get up off the neutral fence and call you out FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME SINCE 1815?!?

trump MUST be removed from office.
Same goes for his enablers in Congress.

Destruction of USAID was unquestionably one of the greatest crimes against humanity ever committed and it has not received nearly enough attention.

Following another long silence, Joel summarized what we needed to do next. My description of our lifesaving work had been helpful, and we would need to develop “a very simple way to describe it to the secretary,” he told us. “To be clear, we’re not looking for a laundry list of everything you want to do, you’re going to have to cut things, it’s going to have to be draconian. You’re only going to get things that are priority number one, that is all we’re going to be able to do, so don’t even send up the things that are priorities number two, three, or four.” At that point, Nida jumped in. Out of the corner of my eye, I had noticed her picking nervously at her hands for most of the meeting, and I knew it was just a matter of time before my oft-impatient colleague spoke up. “Can I just clarify one thing?” she asked, not waiting for a response. “This group seems very focused on what GH does to respond to infectious diseases, but we haven’t spoken much about our other lifesaving work. Just as one example, we support lifesaving care to mothers for emergency inter- ventions like postpartum hemorrhaging and eclampsia, two of the leading causes of pregnancy-related deaths. You would also consider that kind of work to fit into our ‘priority number one,’ right?” Another brief silence followed as Joel watched the clock, and it was Paul Seong who broke it. “I’d say that’s more of a number two,” he said dismissively, looking to Joel and Ken for affirmation.

In Feb. 2025 when a USAID worker asked if their “lifesaving care” for “two of the leading causes of pregnancy-related deaths” would be considered a number one priority for programs to save, a Trump official responded “I’d say that’s more of a number two.”

The destructive ignorance of DOGE and trump

“Some of the studies are testing new treatment regimens for drug- resistant tuberculosis,” I explained, hoping I could convey the very real danger in terms that would register with this audience. “Thousands of enrolled patients are at risk now that their lifesaving treatment is stopped. But that’s not the only danger. We only have limited options to treat drug- resistant TB. We’re using our antibiotics of last resort in these trials. Interrupting treatment midstream risks the development of new, even more drug-resistant strains that could be untreatable. For an airborne infectious disease, that is a serious national security risk.” Adam thought for a moment and then responded, noting that the political appointees at USAID were “not health people.” It would be hard, he surmised, for nonexperts to understand this issue. And so he suggested that we draft a simple, “Barney-style” set of slides to help the political leadership grasp the dangers, referring to the purple dinosaur of children’s television. He recommended that we use the term “Super TB” instead of “drug- resistant TB” to describe the mutations that can develop when treatment is interrupted, because it might be more likely to “catch their attention.”

A Trump guy who was part of the team dismantling USAID didn't think political appointees could grasp the concept of drug-resistant tuberculosis so he asked workers to explain it as "Super TB" in "Barney-style" slides.

Whistleblower says Trump officials thought USAID did 'just abortions,' asked for 'Barney-style' slides before gutting agency, per new book Read an exclusive excerpt from Nicholas Enrich's "Into the Wood Chipper"

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.

'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

By the way- I hope no one on this bluesky website is trying to pull any "Melania is a victim it's not her fault don't go after wives." Fuck all of that.

Melania is no victim.

Melania is a modern day Eva Braun who thinks she's Eva Peron.
